A couple of weeks ago we ran into a gal from Venezuela at a business conference and she was telling us about how rough it was on her family. Her dad was an engineer and always fairly wealthy, but now that the currency has crashed he’s crashed with it. Really sad.
She wanted the U.S. to intervene because “we are always intervening for the good of other countries” I asked her what we could do, does she want us to send our military in to overthrow Maduro? Without hesitation she said yes and wondered why we hadn’t done it already. She was adamant about it.
Course, I don’t really agree because I’m sick of stepping into others’ wars, but I just listened and said nothing.
Can’t really imagine the struggle for the people in Venezuela. People think it can’t happen here. Maybe not, but if her father had held gold it would have countered the crash in their currency.
